Do you remember getting mail as a kid? Nowadays, there is a new trend in gift giving with monthly subscription boxes. I remember receiving Highlights magazines, and it was a big treat for me each month.
You can get just about anything delivered with a monthly subscription. I have asked grandparents and aunts/uncles to give these monthly subscription boxes to my kids as gifts since they are truly the gift that keeps on giving each month. It’s such a nice surprise each month and it gives the kids an activity to do.
